Hey all! A couple years ago I saw a fella who had replaced his valve tappets with Allen heads which is an awesome idea. I can’t for the life of me find it or remember who it was. Does any one have an idea of where I can source some? Thanks

Allen Head Tappets
- Thread starter Halftwist
- Start date
The KEDO valve adjusters, originally intended for SR/XT500 have internal hex, and a ball tip. Sort of like the "elephant foot" ones from VW/ Porsche, but much slimmer.
Might search the forum for "Virago valve adjuster" and see what comes up.
I ordered these directly from ( formerly Boats.net ) Virago tappet screws, I don’t remember the number. If I can find it, I’ll come back here and post it.
I installed new Virago tappet screws with the Allen heads In my XS2, They are a little bit shorter, but there is full thread contact with the rockers when adjusted.
Could you share the P/n you used?
Partzilla's Virago # -----------------BUT, I don't know if these are the correct ones. I'm just posting a part # for the adjusting screws.
Just ordered a set.
